All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

try to go on rainy days.
The ride gets you so much dust that your nose will be filled up with dust for days.

I had a wonderful time being watched over by the very kind and humorous Chieko and Dan. There were a total of seven of us: two young couples, my 66-year-old self and my son, and one man from overseas. They held my hand, as I’m not a strong swimmer, and guided me to where the fish and turtles were swimming. I was quite anxious as a beginner and being older, but the one-hour snorkeling experience was just fine. Their advice was to take motion sickness medication if you’re worried about seasickness. I also recommend borrowing a wetsuit to prevent injuries and sunburn. I’m really glad I participated.

とても優しくてユーモラスなチエコさんとダンさん2人に見守られ楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。若いカップル2組、66歳の私と息子、海外の男性1人の計7人でした。泳ぎの苦手な私の手を繋いで、魚や亀の泳いでいる場所を案内してくれました。1時間たっぷりのシュノーケルに、初心者で高齢の私は不安ばかりでしたが、大丈夫でした。アドバイスは、波酔いの心配がある方は酔い止め薬を服用すること。ウェットスーツは怪我や日焼け予防にも借りる事をお勧めします。参加してとても良かったです。

After six years, I went back to Hawaii, and I signed up again because I had such a great time last time!

Even though it was sailing, it was amazing to see dolphins and turtles, and the view from the sea was spectacular.

6年ぶりのHawaiiで、
前回楽しすぎて再び申し込みました！

セーリングとは言え、イルカやカメが見れたり、海側からの角度で一望できるので最高でした。

We departed from West Oahu, but unfortunately, we didn't see a single whale that day. We also experienced a cruise departing from Waikiki as a backup service from the same company, but we still didn't encounter any whales! However, if you don't see any whales, you receive a free boarding ticket for the next time, so if you have flexibility in your schedule, you can reschedule for another day. If you're visiting for about five days, you might not have time to switch to another day, so it's a bit of a gamble... There were no Japanese crew members, so everything was in English. Our family was the only Japanese guests. But as long as you can find the departure location, you should be fine even if you don't understand English.

西オアフから出発ですが、その日は残念ながら１頭も会えず。
リベンジでワイキキからも出発するクルーズ（同じ会社の振り替えサービス）も体験しましたが、くじらに会えず！
ただ、見れなかった場合は次回無料乗船券がもらえるので、日程的に余裕がある人は違う日に振り替えられます。5日くらいの観光できているとほかの日に振り替える時間がないと思うので、一か八かですね・・・。
日本人のクルーはいませんので、すべて英語です。
日本人客は私たち家族だけでした。でも出発場所にさえちゃんとたどり着ければ英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。

Snorkeling at Molokini Island was beautiful and fun. However, I didn't know that renting a wetsuit (upper body) would cost $10 per person, and I only brought cash for tips (since it's dangerous to take money on the boat), so I was short on cash and had a hard time. I would have liked a notice that the snorkeling set is included in the price, but the wetsuit fee is not. It costs $10 per person. Without a wetsuit, I couldn't get in because it was too cold with just a swimsuit.

モロキニ島でのシュノーケリングは綺麗で楽しかったです。
ただ、防寒用のウェットスーツ（上半身）のレンタルが1人10ドルかかるとは知らず、チップしか現金を持って行っていなかったので（船の上にお金を持っていくのは危ないので）、お金がたらず困りました。
あらかじめ、シュノーケリングセットは価格に含まれているが、ウェットスーツ代金は含まれていません。1人あたり10ドルかかりますという告知が欲しかったです。ウェットスーツを着ないと、水着だけでは寒くて寒くて入れませんでした。

Horseback riding while enjoying the magnificent scenery is exceptional. There were muddy paths, rocky roads, and slopes, which added to the adventurous feeling. After riding for nearly two hours, you can also get to know the personalities of the horses. The staff, although speaking broken Japanese, guide you kindly and attentively.

雄大な景色を見ながらの乗馬は格別です。ぬかるだ道や岩がゴロゴロした道、坂道等ありアドベンチャー気分も味わえました。2時間近く乗っているので、馬の個性もわかります。スタッフの方は、片言の日本語ですが、丁寧に優しく誘導してくれます。

Veltra made booking an outrigger canoe surfing activity so easy! I highly recommend using Veltra! Great price for one of our favorite activities when we were in Honolulu! We’ll definitely book with Veltra again! Mahalo!

Beautiful views, super fun ride. Dress for possibility to get dirty! Awesome day.

My wife and I had a great time. The two guides, captain and turtle-whisperer, were confident, relaxed, and funny. The pick-up location was incredibly convenient for us, near our hotel on the Waikiki beach strip. The ride to the canyon was just 15 minutes, and looking back on the city was breathtaking.

Once there, we distributed masks and floaty-belts and jumped right in! I foolishly wiped off my mask and it clouded up, but the captain was keen to fix it after I brought it to his attention. The turtle-whisperer was around to spot turtles and check in on our snorkelers, but otherwise we were allowed to roam.

There were quite a few other tour boats and snorkel groups at the site, but we were able to still find turtles and fish while staying a bit away from the groups of other snorkelers. We ended up among a school of black fish and had two turtles swim very close to us! Once while my wife and I were holding hands. A highlight of our vacation!

Don't go into this expecting a private/guided tour of the reef. Instead, it's a relaxing transportation to a great snorkel spot, with equipment included. For this price, I highly recommend it.

We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!

I took the boat there and back from Lahaina harbor, very clean and safe. I highly reccomend taking this boat over the water to other islands. Remember to have fun and be safe. Boat went past some whales!

There were many sea turtles, and the ocean was beautiful; I was able to see a large sea turtle resting! During the trip, there were two people who spoke Japanese fluently, which made me feel at ease! I was also very satisfied to be able to feed the fish!

ホヌも沢山いて海も綺麗で大きなホヌが寝ている姿も見ることができました！
移動中は日本語をしっかり話せる方が2名も居たので安心できました！
魚に餌やりもできて大満足！

Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day of my visit. I had imagined the perfect location under a blue sky with clear waters, but it was completely cloudy. I heard the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and various colorful fish, which was truly moving.

Even in the rain, it was enjoyable, and I highly recommend it.

当日、あいにくの天気でした。
青空の下、透明度の高い海で最高なロケーションを想像してましたが、一面が雲。
海も濁っているとの事でしたが、シュノーケリングではウミガメも様々な色をした魚も見ることが出来、感動しました。

雨でも充分楽しめ、お勧めです。

Me and my husband had a great time. The guys are very prompt with safety and are very accomodating. We saw turtles and other sea creatures too. My husband was not very confident with snorkeling but they helped him out by getting acquainted with the waters and eventually he gained confidence to snorkel and he enjoyed it a lot later on to see sea life.

Started off by getting a call from captain to ensure we were in the area because we couldn’t find it initially. Get on the boat yummy bfast cinnamon rolls- beautiful ocean. We sat up front on the netting- saw flying fish dolphins and whales! The captain of the ship made sure we had a great experience by allowing us to view the dolphins and driving toward the whales to ensure we got a better look. They had lots of facts about the marine animals we saw- the island- and the history of trilogy. During the stay at lanai we enjoyed the beautiful beach and tide pooling- we did not snorkel or snuba. Before we left the island we had a yummy lunch, bbq chicken and noodles that the crew made fresh in a wok smelled so good! Then we boarded the ship and headed back- on the way back we got to see some whales and we learned about the end of whale season and the competition between male whales to get female etc. Mai tais on the way home even offered non alcoholic moctails for the kids. Plus delicious ice cream. Was by far our favorite trip adults and kids included. Thanks trilogy for the amazing experience!

Great experience from the massive firework display to the fabulous free drinks (Beers for me and cocktails for just about everyone else) The lads kept us entertained with some hilarious facts and jokes. Couldn't recommend it anymore.

I wasn't very confident in my English, so I was a bit anxious, but the staff were friendly and the tour had a small number of participants, which was great.

The dolphins were lively. There is an island in Tokyo where you can swim with dolphins, but it was also nice to see them from outside.

Honestly, snorkeling is better in Okinawa.

英語が得意ではないので、少し不安でしたが、
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで人数も少ないツアー
なのでとても良かったです。

イルカ達はイキイキしていましたね。
東京ではイルカと泳げる島があるのですが、
外からイルカを見るのもまた良かったです。

シュノーケルは正直沖縄の方がいいですね＾＾；

We went on the raptor ATV tour. Amazing experience. The ability the see the majestic beauty of the island up close was so memorable! Our guides were so friendly and funny and made the tour even more amazing. This was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation. Highly recommend.

This sandbar tour was the best choice! It was so fun! They had all the gear and all we had to do was bring ourselves! They supplied the tastiest BBQ burgers with vegan options as well! Our captain was so professional, yet funny, and extremely helpful taking pictures for us, and giving us the best sandbar adventure ever! We played volleyball, snorkeled, and enjoyed cruising around the sandbar. I can't wait to go again!

Mahalo nui loa!

This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end. Glad we booked this tour!!!

Diego, Trevor, and Tamae were incredible! They were fun and upbeat and super helpful. We got in the water and we say more than a half dozen different manta rays swimming around right beneath us! It was an experience we’ll never forget!

Staff on boat were helpful snd professional. Snorkel equipment was ok, kind of old but worked. It was nice to be able to bring our on snacks and drinks on board.

Great Morning Out, was the only package on the Island (I checked with tonnes of tour guides out there) that offered Transport to the North Shore and Time in the town up there.
100% recommend, Get out of Waikiki and see the island and some Sharks. We also saw Dolphins and Wales but didn't get a refund for that.

My family enjoyed a wonderful day touring the Na Pali coast line. Captain Mike and his crew made their guests feel welcome, safe and part of the family. The bonus for me was the historic and cultural connection of the Mike and his crew to the land. We saw a mama whale and her calf up close. This excursion was the highlight of our vacation.

My wife and I went on this six years ago and had a great time. We were in Kauai with the whole family. I told them that this was a must do The whole family fro 74 to 8 years had an enjoyable time. Outstanding activity.

It was an event affected by the weather, and the first day was canceled due to wind. We rescheduled and successfully went ahead two days later. We departed from the yacht harbor in front of the Hilton Hotel, with three groups together. After putting on our gear, we were in the air in no time. It was an indescribable feeling, flying while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki. It was wonderful! When returning to the boat, I landed in the water with only my lower body, but I made it back safely.

天候に左右されるイベントで、初日は風で中止。予約し直し、２日後に無事決行でした。ヒルトンホテルの前のヨットハーバーから出発、3組一緒。道具を装着して、あっと言う間に空中へ。何とも言えない感覚、ダイアモンドヘッド、ワイキキを見ながらの飛行。素晴らしい！船に戻る時に下半身のみ着水、無事戻りました。

It was a breathtaking view!

I flew up to the highest point, but the wind was strong, and I was scared, so I couldn't let go.

The boat also swayed quite a bit. Those who get motion sickness might experience seasickness.

絶景でした！

1番高いところまで飛んでみましたが、風が強くて、怖くて手が離せずでした。

船もまぁまぁ揺れました。乗り物酔いする方は船酔いするかも。

I was able to see sea turtles, and I really enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball. I gave it four stars because I was a bit anxious while waiting for the bus to pick us up at the meeting point.

ウミガメを見れて、サップやビーチボール等もとても楽しかったです。
集合場所にバスのお迎えが来るまで不安だったのもあり星4つとさせていただきました。

This tour was worth every penny. We loved the ride to the summit, the star gazing, and the wealth of knowledge provided by our tour guide, Maka.

This was so much fun. Our guides Cousin Ryan and Merlin were amazing!! Very knowledgeable and informative! We learned so much about the ranch and Hawaii! Loved riding in the 4x4’s! Views were magnificent!!!
